We are experiencing high levels of exhaust gases inside the passenger cabin of a 2014 ford edge. The exhaust fumes are noticeable when idling for extended periods and are most pronounced when accelerating at highway speed. Exhaust gases can reach high levels so uncomfortable that windows must be rolled down to flush the passenger cabin. This condition has been reported to a ford service department which indicated that a method of repair exists but no manufacturer recall has been issued to date. The condition is similar to that in the ford explorer that resulted in repairs to law enforcement vehicles.

Exhaust odors enter vehicle cabin after heavier acceleration. It is more prevalent when air conditioning it turned on. This odor can vary in intensity from mild to so overwhelming that you cough, gag, eyes water and sinuses will drain. It irritates my throat. I drive this vehicle a lot each day and while at first I thought the smell was entering the vehicle from other vehicles exhaust in front of me, I have finally realized it is coming from the vehicle I am driving. Smell intensity seems related to how hard the acceleration was. For example, when entering a highway on an acceleration ramp during heavy traffic, the situation could require heavy acceleration to get up to speed. The car gets a very heavy odor of exhaust inside the cabin in this situation with air conditioning on. When this intensity happens you must roll down the windows to clear the smell from the interior. The smell is less intense during easier accelerations. I notice myself feeling drowsy sometimes during the summer months, with air conditioning on, after I have been driving the car for maybe an hour or so. Rolling the windows down seems to make the sensation go away as does getting out of the vehicle. I am concerned carbon monoxide is present with the odor that enters the vehicle interior. I do not notice the smell much during the cooler months when air conditioning is not used. The intensity of the odor, under heavier acceleration, is virtually breathtaking. It is very difficult to breath inside the interior during this kind of intensity. We purchased this used vehicle used in early 2016 with 10,000 miles on it and drive it daily. It has over 30,000 miles now. I have read and researched many comments and complaints about this vehicle and ford explorers with the same described issue. I have not been able to research a fix.

My car has been at ford service for the past 7 days waiting for parts. This is the second time it's been in for service in the past month. I initially reported exhaust smell in the cabin coming from the air vents. There was a problem with the shifter which they replaced but they told me they couldn't detect the smell or a cause for any smell. I took the car back last week when the exhaust/rotten egg odor continued and the car was making a low drone noise and faltering on acceleration. I was just told this monday (two days ago) that the exhaust smell is part of the problem being reported on the news. I was not aware of what was on the news at all. My car is a 2014 edge.

When you accelerate to pass or enter a freeway you get strong exhaust fumes inside the car.so strong you have to put the windows down to clear them out. Have had this vehicle back to dealership 4 times for this problem. They have done what ford said do and that did not solve the problem. Ford said " well don't accelerate hard." tell me how you can get on a busy freeway in houston, texas without accelerating hard. This has convinced me that ford does not care about consumers,so I will never purchase another ford.

While driving the vehicle on the highway between 65 and 75 MPH, strong exhaust smell in the cabin, through AC vents. This happens also upon acceleration. This happens on long road trips. This carbon monoxide inside the vehicle. Have taken vehicle to the dealership three times and they are not able to fix the problem. The first time was shortly after purchase of the vehicle. It has happened a total nine times so far. First time we went to dealership, they stated the had just got a technical service bulletin about this issue. No notification to consumers. As everyone knows, no notification to consumers if not a recall. Ford knows about this problem and we feel that they are ignoring the obvious. It's pass due for an investigation. We have started the necessary protocol for a repurchase. We do not want to drive a vehicle that is toxic to our health.
